How should we handle `mz:is_funky` records
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Who's on First has a property called mz:is_funky which is described as follows:
Used when Mapzen suspects the record is bad or inappropriate but additional confirmation is needed before the feature is deprecated. Records with a 1 value are recommended to be hidden from map display and search unless explicitly asked for by name.
Currently, Pelias does not do anything with this value in either this repository or wof-admin-lookup. Should we?
I feel like we've had this discussion several times before, but it's never been recorded on GitHub as far as I can tell.
There are several different ways we might handle these records:
- Remove them from the WOF importer, meaning they can't appear in search results at all
- Remove them in wof-admin-lookup, meaning they won't be part of other records hierarchies (as would be helpful in the issue described in pelias/api#1451)
- Import them in the WOF importer, but give them a scoring penalty
What's the right approach? Are there other things we might do as well?
From the description, it sounds like we should (at minimum) exclude them from wof-admin-lookup.
